- Social video marketing (SVM) is a component of an integrated marketing communications plan designed to increase audience engagement through social activity around a given video. In a successful social video marketing campaign, the content, distribution strategy and consumer self expression tools combine to allow an individual to “add their voice” or co-create value to a piece of content - then further propagating it out to their social circles.Social video typically benefits from a halo effect cast by the "influencers” of a given social grouping.SVM draws on consumer culture theory, economic theory, and social theory around the psychology of sharing. Social video marketing differs from social marketing, which has the intent of influencing behavior for a social good.Theories on Social Video and Sharing[edit]Historical Context of Social Video MarketingConditions which have made the market conducive to the rise of social video marketing:Falling cost of technologyCameras' ubiquityIncrease of bandwidth and consumer accessComputer speed/RAMDesktop publishingRise of social networking sites[edit]Usage of the termReelSEO mentions “social video marketing” frequently and has been using the term since at least 2010. “Social Video Marketing” as a term has also been championed by Internet entrepreneur Shawn Hopwood.[1][edit]Current ResearchIn a 2011 study published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, Jonah Berger found that subjects the sharing of stories or information may be driven in part by arousal. When people are physiologically aroused, whether due to emotional stimuli or otherwise, the autonomic nervous is activated, which then boosts social transmission. Simply put, evoking certain emotions can help increase the chance a message is shared.“In a prior paper, we found that emotion plays a big role in which New York Times articles make the most emailed list. But interestingly, we found that while articles evoking more positive emotions were generally more viral, some negative emotions like anxiety and anger actually increased transmission while others like sadness decreased it. In trying to understand why, it seemed like arousal might be a key factor,” says Berger,[2] the Joseph G. Campbell Jr. Assistant Professor of Marketing at the University of Pennsylvania.In the study, Berger suggests that feeling fearful, angry, or amused drives people to share news and information. These types of emotions are characterized by high arousal and action, as opposed to emotions like sadness or contentment, which are characterized by low arousal or inaction. “If something makes you angry as opposed to sad, for example, you’re more likely to share it with your family and friends because you’re fired up,” continues Berger.

- Maybe this can help better explain. We know how much the Internet transformed business and our culture. I am here to say that we are going through just as big a revolution. The 5th age of Modern Business is underway.To understand where we are, we must first look back at where we came .We must understand that at each age, businesses had to adapt to technological and market forcesWe must understand that to survive in our current age, we must fundamentally evolve the organization to a highly adaptive one. Rarely in business history has a new age opened up so many possibilities across every industry and discipline. In less than 5 years, the balance of power has shifted from seller to buyer, from big media to the influential individual, from industry trade associations to thriving digital communities . Now is the single greatest time in history to be in business. This Fifth Age of business has created a new set of rules for organizations to compete in the economy as equals. But being large no longer ensures having a competitive advantage. In fact, it may mean the opposite. What else is business has been disrupted, shattered or destroyed?

- Product videos are hosted by content coordinators who create their own scripts, matching their personality and the item they’re talking about.These one-minute-or-less videos begin with the coordinator on a stark white background introducing themselves and then, in their own style, describing the product.The effect is liking talking to a good friend — a friend explaining what he or she likes about a favorite shoe, bag, or hat.In the video for the Nike5 Elastico indoor soccer show, the host describes the shoe and accidentally drops it. It’s silly but that’s part of the brand. Zappos’ videos feel real because they are real – and shoppers love them.
